A '''7 day run''' is where a player completes ''[[Pikmin 2]]'' in 7 days. This [[challenge run]] is similar to the [[6 day run|6 day run in ''Pikmin'']] in the regard that this is the minimum known number of days that can be taken to collect all 201 [[treasure]]s. It is achieved by collecting each type of [[Pikmin (species)|Pikmin]] on the first possible day, with both [[Blue Pikmin]] and [[White Pikmin]] on day 3, and completing both [[Perplexing Pool]] and [[Wistful Wild]] in a single day each. The following is a brief outline of such a run.

A '''6 day run''' is where a player completes ''[[Pikmin 2]]'' in 6 days by collecting all 201 [[treasure]]s. This is achieved by collecting each type of [[Pikmin family|Pikmin]] on the first possible day, with both [[Blue Pikmin]] and [[White Pikmin]] on day 3, and completing the [[Awakening Wood]], [[Perplexing Pool]], and [[Wistful Wild]] in a single day each. The following is a brief outline of such a run.


On April 2nd, 2018, well-known Japanese Pikmin 2 speedrunner HSS0136 utilized a new glitch to get the [[Decorative Goo]] past the electric gate near the [[Onion|Blue Onion]], allowing the [[Awakening Wood]] to be completed in one day, and by extension making a 6-day run possible in Pikmin 2. {{cite youtube|govlosZaj-0|HSS0136 Completing the Awakening Wood in a single day}}

The order of some days can be moved around – for example, finishing [[Valley of Repose]] can wait until after finding [[Yellow Pikmin|Yellows]] at Perplexing Pool (though this increases the difficulty of Perplexing Pool, which is arguably the hardest day), or Wistful Wild can be completed before [[Awakening Wood]].

A 6 day run is where a player completes Pikmin 2 in 6 days by collecting all 201 treasures. This is achieved by collecting each type of Pikmin on the first possible day, with both Blue Pikmin and White Pikmin on day 3, and completing the Awakening Wood, Perplexing Pool, and Wistful Wild in a single day each. The following is a brief outline of such a run.

Because the Blue Pikmin don't respond to the leader's whistle, a 6 day run on the New Play Control! version is a lot harder, but by using glitches it is possible.[1]

Outline

The following article or section contains guides.
The strategies shown are just suggestions.

The order of some days can be moved around – for example, finishing Valley of Repose can wait until after finding Yellows at Perplexing Pool (though this increases the difficulty of Perplexing Pool, which is arguably the hardest day), or Wistful Wild can be completed before Valley of Repose.

Day 1

Valley of Repose
  • This is the same as in any other run through the game. Unless you're in a speedrun where time is critical, let your Red Pikmin grow to flower status before plucking them, to increase their performance.

Day 2

Valley of Repose

Day 3

Awakening Wood

Day 4

Valley of Repose

Day 5

Note:All overground treasures must be collected before completing the final caves so that you can clear out the area before the day ends. This is because the debt clearing cutscene (which can only happen while above-ground) instantly ends the day.

Perplexing Pool

Day 6

Wistful Wild

History

Care to do so?

On March 24th, 2018, "muratsubo" discovered a glitch that allows Pikmin to carry an object at much faster speeds than normal.[2][3] Over the next days, speedrunners attempted to find time-saving uses for the glitch, and the idea of using it to get the Decorative Goo over the gate was instantly brought up. Several experiments were made to get it to work.[4][5][6] Eventually, it was proven to be possible to bring the Decorative Goo outside of the Blue Pikmin den, with enough speed.[7][8]

On April 2nd, 2018, "HSS0136" used that same glitch to get the Decorative Goo past the electric gate near the blue Onion, allowing the treasure to be recovered without the player needing to go unlock and use Yellow Pikmin[9], and as such, allowing the Awakening Wood to be completed in one day, and knocking the day total from seven to six.
